The two grand rivers of Lapland: Kemijoki and Ounasjoki connect at a stone-throws away from hotel. Airport Taxi is a convenient and inexpensive way to get from Rovaniemi Airport. The hotel is near Art Museum Korundi (800 m), Arktikum Museum and Pilke Science Center (800 m), Santa Claus Village (8 km) with Santa's Express Bus available. The vast forests and wilderness areas are easily accessible by fat bikes, quad bikes, and hiking. Train connections from Helsinki and Oulu are available, and the Bus Station Rovaniemi is 1.2 km away.

Additional amenities include complimentary wireless Internet access, gift shops/newsstands, and a television in a common area. Guests can ask about early check-in and late check-out from the hotel reception.

“Here's my take: this Rovaniemi address stands out with family-friendly perks and its central spot near Santa Claus Village; the in-house restaurant receives well-deserved recognition, too. The sauna provides a welcome respite and the staff's helpfulness, especially with travel hiccups, is noteworthy. Overall, a conveniently located hotel with distinct advantages.”
